Well, he was the assistant preacher and the Sunday schoolteacher
in the church that I grew up in
She was looker from Atlanta, led the choir, played piano, had a body that was made for sin
She didn't care that he was married, 'cause the torch that she carried was hotter than the fires of hell
She had plans to seduce him, if she could, she could loosen a notch in the Bible Belt

So, she called him up at home when she knew he'd be alone said  "Preacher I could use advice
I got troubles with a man that I know you'll understand if you could help me it would sure be nice"
They met a few minutes after in the office of the pastor and she started telling how she felt
What a chance they were taking when they first started breaking
the laws of the Bible Belt

There's a lot of good people who are led astry that believe what the good Book said
Well, I'll tell you something, brother, when you're dealing with the devil it's tough to keep a level head
And it's hard to imagine how the flames of passion can burn you 'til your soul will melt
And it'll spread like a cancer but you're gonna have to answer to the Lord and the Bible Belt

Someone said they went to Vegas, back home it didn't take us long
to hear the news of what they did
Nobody could believe that he left his wife to grieve alone with two pre-school kids
I don't know how they're doing but I know that they're screwing up
a good thing they once had
They better get their heads together or they're gonna slap leather
with the Lord and the Bible Belt
